So random idea, but wouldn't it be fun to cosmic bowl in cosplay. Cosmic bowling is late night bowling with blacklights, strobes, and other party lights....stupid florecent lights are off ^_^. It is pretty fun and would be sweet in costume. Anyway, what do you guys think? No date or anything set, just looking for some feedback right now. *Glomp* all of you.

I think it'd be a blast, but I couldn't do it in any of my costumes, since they both have one hand "absent" if you will, heh. It'd still be a fun event though.

Sayda · « **Reply #2 on:** February 14, 2008, 01:04:50 pm »

I concur, it would be fun. All of my costumes are two handed, so I wouldn't mind being in cosplay.

ichigoxcupcakes · « **Reply #3 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:34:40 pm »

Good idea!! :DDD It sounds like it would be absolutely fun! Though I'm horrid at bowling in real life, but on the Wii I'm pretty good, not to brag.

tee-hee

Sayda · « **Reply #4 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:52:29 pm »

I am not so good at bowling either. I put my father to shame, since he's a professional bowler. ~ ~
But I am good at Wii Bowling!

I so agree that it'd be great. Warming, though: No matter how bad you are, I'm worse. xD Do you know when they have the sides up for little kids? So you won't get the gutter ball? I got it. I have no freaking clue how I did, but it's insulting. XD

Hazuza · « **Reply #6 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:50:28 pm »

psh, you say YOU guys suck?

I rolled the ball while the bumper thing was still setting the pins up. =w=;

Sayda · « **Reply #7 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:26:42 pm »

I think I will be second best, then. I'm not THAT bad.
I get strikes and spares every once in a while.

goatchild · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2008, 11:55:26 pm »

XD;; This is like a giant "bash yourself" thread! Anywho, I would LOVE to cosmic bowl in cosplay. SO MUCH FUN. With or without bumpers. X3

Dude I even suck at bowling, but it's all about having fun...not the score ^_~. Well awesome, I might actually have to officially plan something now. Hehe.

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2008, 04:55:21 pm »

I'd enjoy it. Heck, I bowl every week and have my own bowling ball, so watch out!

(note, this doesn't mean I'm any good)

Darknight2433 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2008, 04:58:13 pm »

I'm in Oregon City, so where do you think we should bowl? The only place I've been to is Gladstone Bowling Lanes. =D

reppy · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2008, 05:44:26 pm »

Sounds like it'd be fun.. but I'd probably just go.. normal.. if I was able to go, anyways. ^_^

Seraph · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:38:50 am »

Only bowling place I know is right next to the max. I don't remember the exact stop, but I remember it was near the end of the line westward. Pretty far for most people I think, although, its pretty close to sayda compared to all the other meeting locations =P.

Ohh really?
I know of a place; Park Lanes, it's right over by my dads. I know the owner personally, but I'm not sure if we'd get any kind of discount.

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2008, 03:34:28 pm »

I vote somewhere in portland, like I always do cause i use da bus =P

uraharafreak · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2008, 03:52:18 pm »

Sayda does that bowling ally actually have glow/cosmic bowling? I agree we need to find a location central to everyone, but only certain allys offer cosmic bowling.

Sayda · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2008, 04:36:25 pm »

Uh.. yes.
I was there yesterday when it was going on.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #19 on:** February 17, 2008, 05:58:50 pm »

Sweet! Checked out Park Lanes and saw that there is a discount for groups 5+. This might be a good one to keep in mind, but it is also in Hillsboro, so that might be a little far for some people.

Sayda · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2008, 06:10:39 pm »

It's about 5 - 10 minutes from Beaverton, depending on traffic. It also has a pretty big arcade, with DDR, pool, a lot of racing games, and Air Hockey.

BlackjackGabbiani · « **Reply #21 on:** February 17, 2008, 06:25:00 pm »

Yeah, Park Lanes is where I go, but their "Cosmic Bowling" leaves something to be desired.

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2008, 11:37:58 pm »

Cosplay Cosmic Bowling would be fun but where? I have one location in the Eugene area that does it but any suggestions people?

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2008, 06:18:36 pm »

ooooo me i wanna go! rinoa wants to go! i'll bring angelo ^.^ lol

i just thought of this idea too the other day when we went bowling, we should really do it cause it'd be super fun!! we should eat cake there too. i volunteer to make it! cosplay cake!

Nroseseeer · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:01:55 pm »

I agree this would be really fun. As making a fool of yourself is a great way to make friends.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #25 on:** March 24, 2008, 06:54:54 am »

Yes...yes it is

. Sorry guys I have been slacking off....getting ready for Sakura Con has been crazy. Once that is past then I will try to get something going.

Higuma · « **Reply #26 on:** March 24, 2008, 09:28:40 am »

This would be fun and I am an ok bowler, count me in.

There are two places that would be central for everyone. Since some people live in Eugene, I believe Tigard Bowl has cosmic bowling, and even bigger and better, I think Wilsonville lanes has it too. I might scope them out this week and see if they're possibilities.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #28 on:** March 25, 2008, 07:01:01 am »

Ok sounds good....I actually live in Wilsonville, but haven't been to the bowling ally yet.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #29 on:** March 25, 2008, 09:05:23 pm »

I've been inside and it's a fairly great place. A good balance of arcade games and bowling lanes.

Funny thing is it's also next to the Bullwinkles restaurant and family fun center. Hmmm...unless everyone wants to still do cosmic bowling, maybe we could do it during the day and include--cosplay chibi-golf, go carts and/or laser tag?

All riiight! I live close to the Hillsboro location, so I can easily take the #57 bus there. If you guys can set up a more than 5 cosplayers group whenever it's convenient for any of you, and with my parent's permission, then hey, I'll be willing to go.

If possible, do you guys think you can set the event on the weekend before or the weekend after the Uwajimaya Sakura Festival this year?

no cosplay...........yet

uraharafreak · « **Reply #32 on:** March 31, 2008, 07:28:27 pm »

Ok so I am back from Sakura Con. Yatta! I am totally going to get something together now.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #33 on:** April 02, 2008, 12:34:39 am »

I actually found out that nearly every bowling center in the Portland area has cosmic bowling, even Wilsonville.

Roddy Manic · « **Reply #34 on:** April 02, 2008, 01:45:17 am »

I would so love to do this. I'll need to know the date though at least two weeks ahead though to get the time off work and a babysitter.

Arumi · « **Reply #35 on:** April 12, 2008, 07:17:58 am »

Ahh, I fail a bowling, but I think the whole thing sounds fun. ^_^ If it's near beaverton I'd be able to go. -flail- Anywho, how would the people react to see a giant group full of people dressed up weirdly suddenly flood their normal bowling spot? XD (The weirdist I've ever seen there is people dressed up in pajamas..)

uraharafreak · « **Reply #36 on:** April 12, 2008, 09:35:57 pm »

Hehe woo cares how they would react.

I think we would get the same reaction if we went to the mall in costume.

Hazuza · « **Reply #37 on:** April 12, 2008, 11:28:03 pm »

In the mall, they can just walk by, though xDD

Here they'll be forced to watch us owo;

I have a feeling we would get many people curious about cosplay, because likely, someone would ask us something... Good opportunity for some publicity.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #38 on:** April 13, 2008, 10:41:41 pm »

Give me a date as long as it isn't the weekend of the 26-27th and I should be able to go to any of them, as yours truly, Trunks of course.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #39 on:** April 20, 2008, 11:11:07 am »

Ok so I really am trying to set something up. Kind of thinking that it would be the first weekend of May...unless there was already another meetup planned on the forum for that time. Just trying to find out a location that would work for most people.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #40 on:** April 20, 2008, 10:44:01 pm »

there's possibly a cosplay park invasion somewhere on that weekend...but what if it came down to a park raid THEN bowling that evening?

uraharafreak · « **Reply #41 on:** April 20, 2008, 11:40:18 pm »

Yeah that could work. I mainly really want to do this, but as soon as summer hits (concert season) I will be working like crazy. So hopefully we can set it up sometime in May. I totally don't want to book it during something else. But the park/bowling thing would be cool.

harukenshin · « **Reply #42 on:** April 20, 2008, 11:45:23 pm »

what about the people that live up in seattle.....

I think that i beat out all of you i have been bowling for 16 years but i am not a professional bowler........

Ah, but the park thing's likely for a sunday... And I can't really do anything sunday evenings, unfortunately

; With school and such...

uraharafreak · « **Reply #44 on:** April 21, 2008, 12:20:30 am »

Yeah I don't think any places really have cosmic bowling on sundays, most places have it friday and saturday.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #45 on:** April 23, 2008, 07:33:15 pm »

... But what if we live in Eugene and have no way to go all the way to Wilsonville or Portland? I'd love to do this, but I know nobody in Portland and it's not like I can just go take a Greyhound up.

Anyone in Eugene up for hitting Southtowne Lanes and Putters, out on Hwy. 99?

Possibly. Since I live out there. It could even be a part of our epic T-Town meet up! XD Maybe after the first one since it's so out of the way and we can organize rides once we all get to know each other. ^^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #47 on:** April 23, 2008, 10:01:41 pm »

Ooooh, sounds like fun. The epic chibi-golf tournament of indoor waterfalls, DDR and astroturf. And toilet-bowl-blue pond water. And Kingdom Hearts. Not to mention bowling!

... My fandom will never be the same again.
